I had never truly been afraid.
But of late I was starting to wonder if those words were a lie. Clutching the Queens letter in my palm I pace and march back and forth around the small hell hole the guardians stuck me in. I haven't talked or spoken to anyone in weeks. Abe had visited several times but little were spoken because he had heard my story enough times. I avoided Lissa magnetic pull into her head, for I knew that seeing himwould be far to painful and hearing about my chances would just drive me mad. When I had come in the stupid guardians had removed all jewelry and accessories from my personage so I couldn't "escape". So I was left without any protection for Lissa's darkness that grew everyday from her practicing her new found skills. I really didn't mind Lissa branching out and practicing...but I knew that the darkness was only making my stay worse.
The guards outside my cell would glance anxously at me out of the corner of there eyes to make sure I wasnt trying anything. Finially I sighed in defeat and sat down. I had already counted the bricks around my cell. 712 bricks, 312 red, 400 brown, 500 holes and scratches...many of those were my tally marks to record how many days I had been in here. 16 tally marks. 16 days without any word from Abe, My mother, Lissa, Adrian, Eddy, Christian or Dimitri. I felt a painful stab at my heart at his name...Dimitri. Love Fades. Mine has. Those words haunt my dreams, my thoughts and stab my heart as the tip of a stake would. I knew I should move on, let him be happy...let myself be happy but how can I let myself be happy when my heart feels like its broken.
I grunted at that. God I sound like a 12 year old girl fanning over Justin Baber or whatever his name is. I really am loosing my mind. I looked around the gloomy cell bored and agitated around the room. This was more boring than being held captive, at least I had a goal and a mission there. But here? No I had to see for 24 god damn hours in a row with not a word.
I looked at the guards and seethed out, "God, dont you ever make a sound?"
One of the guards, Nathan, spun around, "Look Greg, " he turned to the other guard, "the killer speaks." Greg shakes his head and turns around again, while Nathan smirks.
I raised my eyebrow, "Wow...is that the best you got? I mean really if you were going for the insult it didn't work at all...if I was your teacher I would have failed you for attempt and failure of delivery."
Nathan gapped at me and then started to open his mouth.
"Guardian Danniels!" Greg's deep and threatening voice sounds, " Please remove yourself if you cannot handle standing in silence." Nathan looked at him, "Excuse me sir," and walked out of the room. Guardian Jeffers (Greg) looked at me, "Ms. Hathaway, please refrain yourself from harassing guardians down here. I know when boredom strikes it all you can think of but especially Nathan..hes young and inexperienced and doesn't need to be harassed by prisoners."
I looked down at my feet, cut by the simple dig of Ms. Hathaway...even Nathan a 16 year old was referred to as a guardian but me? No I was a prisoner. The silence was deafening. Then I heard a deep breath and Guardian Jeffers turned around, "By the way...its nice to see you alive again Ms. Hathaway."
I looked at him confused, he just smiled and shook his head and then the guardian mask slipped back on.

Its been hours since Guardian Jeffer addressed me and I was still pondering what he said. It was nice to see me alive again? Had I really lost myself that I had not smirked or snarked at anyone for 16 days? Had I completly given up and lost my mind? Who was I ...Damn it I'm Guardian Rose Hathaway and no one is going to take that from me! I sat up straight and awake. I felt more alive and ready then I had in weeks...and I knew exactly what I had to do...I needed to visit Lissa.
I took at deep breath and focused on her and then I was no longer myself...
Lissa sat clutching Christian. Hopeless and afraid, "Its been 16 days Christian...16 days and not a word, I haven't felt her or even heard from her. I talked to Mr. Mazur and he said that see looked dead. No life, no spirit...Rose has given up and that is just unheard of...I'm so lost."
Christian rubbed her back comfortingly, "Liss its Rose we are talking about. Shes a fighter. You saw how determined she was with saving Dimitri...she never gave up. For Gods sake she even..." The door to Lissa's room slid open and Dimitri walked in. My heart ached as I saw him. He looked amazing as usual in his duster and tattered jeans and white T. His hair was sloppily pulled back into a pony at the nape of his neck and his brown eyes were filled with an emotion I couldn't place. "Princess, Mr. Ozera, " he addressed them formally as he set down his coat. Lissa straightened up and smiled, "Guardian Belikov how many times have I told you to call me Lissa? And call him Christian?"
Dimitri nodded, "Habit Princess." Lissa shook her head and smiled, "How did the meeting go?" Dimitri slowly sat down, "They said that from watching me they can easily see that I am no longer strigoi but still want to take things slow and be cautious. They said I soon will be reinstated as a guardian." Lissa squeeled, "That's amazing! Im happy for you."
A small smile slipped out from Dimitris mask...my smile..the one that I lived to see. Dimirti opened his mouth to say something when Abe burst through the door..with an anxious expression. Lissa stood up dragging Christian along with her and Dimitri looked at Abe suspiciously.
"Excuse me Lissa..but I must speak to you." Abe glanced around the room and his eyes slowly stopped on Dimitri and flashed to Lissa eyes. "Alone, perhaps?"
Lissa looked at Abe, "Of course." She started to move towards Abe but Dimitri step forward and stopped her. His eyes flashed and looked right into Lissa's and right into mine. My breath caught and I waited to hear his voice. He turned towards Abe, "Why must you speak alone?"
Abe leaned towards Dimitri a sarcastic smile on his face, "What business is it of yours if I speak to the Princess alone?"
"The Princess is my charge and I will protect her...from anything and anyone." Lissa reached forward and touched Dimitri's shoulder, he flinched.
Abe laughed, "You think you must protect her from me? Do I even know you?"
Dimitri steeped forward and stood over my father, "Dimirti Belikov sir. Princess Valissas guardian."
Abe's eyes narrowed, "Excuse me but you must be mistaken, the Princess guardian is Rosemary Hathaway, My daughter and my client. She will be her guardian and her only guardian. So you young man should just sit down and relax because this business doesn't concern you."
At the mention of my name Dimitri's eyes widened and his guardian mask slowly came down. "You are Rose's father?" I could see his eyes processing the way the trial had gone and how we acted to each other..it all made sense to him now.
Abe stood tall, "Yes I am. You said you were Dimitri Belikov? As in Russian Dimitri Belikov who my daughter dropped out of school and went to Russia to save? You are the one she gave her career up for?" Abe's voice started to get louder when Lissa broke it apart.
"Excuse me...but didn't you have important information for me?"
Abe looked at Lissa and then straightened, "Yes, I do."
Christian piped up, "Well do tell."
Abe took a deep breath, "They set the date for Rose's trial."
Dimitri quietly spoke up, "When?"
Abe turned and looked directly into Lissa's and my eyes..as if he knew I was listening, "Tuesday June 12."
A month from today.

I was sucked from Lissa's head full of fatigue and disappointment. I still had a month to sit and rot in this cell. A surge of rage welled up in me. It was stronger and more powerful then the others had been lately. I gripped the sides of my cot and shut my eyes waiting for it to pass. My whole body shook and tremors ran down my spine. Tears filled my eyes and I wanted to scream. I heard the guards turn around and come close to the cell. They whispered to one another and then into their ear pieces probably calling the paramedic or Doctor. I shook harder and could feel the anger flowing through my body as I fought to control before the spirit broke loose and I lost control. The memory of last time, when I lost control flashed through my mind. My trying to kill Jesse and hitting him so hard. The feeling of hatred and death that I wanted. The anger and want for pain and then Dimitri's words echoes through my mind, "Rose its not you! Its not you!" My body slowly calmed and my mind broke through the barrier to sanity. I may have looked fine but I wasn't fine. I started to sob, uncontrollable sobs that shook my body harder than the anger had. I turned. I moved against the wall and cried. All alone.
As I cried I realized that even if I wasn't commited and executed..I couldn't fight my death.
Because the spirit is slowly killing me.
